well, i have seen two of my buddies have thiers go bad.... and both of them went bad, and the engine stalled as they were driving down the road. luckily they were able to both pull off to the side in a safe spot. when they tried to start them again, it would not idle at all, and would only run if they had their foot on the gas quite a bit, and die after about 30 seconds. the wierd thing is that they both had it happen within a week of each other. i forget what it cost at the dealer, but some parts stores list a "crank" sensor..... and they are the same thing, but a lot cheaper than fomoco. its all up to you as to whether you should change it or not...... i wouldnt change it myself until i had to. with my 5.4L i always keep a spare COP for its notorious problem. but only change it when needed. good luck.
